Really enjoyed the show. Thought both Russel and Rhys did a great job. And the neighbor who works for the FBI. Very promising.

And as far as the neighbor already suspecting them being a little far fetched, he was undercover for a long time for a white supremacists group and hes finally back being a regular person. Hes still a little paranoid, plus the car matched the description. Didnt find it that far fetched. When he saw nothing in the trunk, he realized he was being a paranoid. But, it def sets up a great plot line. KGB spies living next door to a FBI counterintelligence agent. Very suspenseful. 1 screw up and its over.

I thought it was great. It was set up very well. They started you out in the middle of some intense action, then went back and set it up. The acting was really good and I loved the music.

I saw someone post that they were disappointed about the drum break missing from "In The Air Tonight". I too was disappointed. I was ready to do my Mike Tyson in The Hangover air drums impression. Other than that, I was really pleased with the first episode.

Most shows now are all focused on the 'anti-hero'. I was wondering the other day if there was such a thing as an 'anti-villain'. I couldn't find anything regarding that, so I assumed that there was not such a thing.

Are the main characters in this show anti-villains? I mean, we're supposed to get emotionally attached to them to the point that we want them to succeed, but their success is bad for us. Quite the conundrum.

Not his resolve, but her resolve. Shes the 1 that was freaking out because he was talking about switching over and all that but she wasnt having any of that. The guy that raped her said that the high command let them have their way with the cadets and it was a perk. That would of been all I needed to hear to make me switch over.

And i know i mean im rooting for the KGB guy i hate it haha. I think they will switch over sooner or later.
